TOOTH WHITENING

Over the course of time, the natural whiteness of your teeth can fade and our day to
day lifestyle, habits and diet can darken their colour. Many of us drink tea, red wine
and coffee on a daily basis which can gradually stain the teeth; smoking can also have
a significant impact. Whitening treatments can help restore their natural whiteness,
boosting your confidence and giving you a smile to be proud of.

The most effective and long lasting method of tooth whitening is to have bespoke trays made
to fit your teeth and by placing whitening gel inside them and then onto your teeth. This is
done over a period of 10-14 days for a minimum of 2 hours per session. It is important that
you visit a dentist to do this and use the correct sort of gel to prevent any damage to your
gums.

Dr Edwards will check if this is an appropriate treatment for you and then take some
impressions of your teeth. The impressions are sent to a lab where they specialise in making
whitening trays. You will then be instructed on how to use the gel, get the best results and
how to maintain your new brighter, whiter smile. A pre-whitening shade and photo are
taken.
